Hobs with induction

Induction hobs differ from gas and electric hobs in that they use magnetism to heat pans and pots instead of direct heat. The glass surfaces of an induction hob are coils which a varying electrical current is flowing. When an induction-compatible pan is put on top, it creates the magnetic field to create electricity inside the iron inside the pan, which heats it and in turn cooking the food inside. These hobs are famous for cooking faster and being energy efficient. Many homeowners have reported an improvement in their overall cost of cooking.

According to certain sources, induction hobs produce high levels of electromagnetic fields with frequencies within the Kilohertz range when they are used. These fields won't harm your health at normal distances and they will diminish as you increase the distance. These magnetic fields can cause interference with pacemakers, therefore it is best to keep at least five to ten centimetres distance between the cooker and pacemaker.

Induction hobs require special cookware. These pans need to have a flat bottom, and are usually made from steel or iron with a magnetic layer; cast iron is a popular option, but you can also find stainless steel with an induction compatibility as well as copper and aluminium (check the label to determine if they are compatible). Some hobs have dual rings that have smaller and larger cooking zones to accommodate different pan sizes.

Glass-topped gas cooktops are cleaner than stainless steel models. However it is crucial to remember that you should only use flat-bottomed pots and pans for a glass cooktop. This is because a rounded bottom will cause excessive surface to come in contact with the burners, which can result in the overheating of the cooktop and causing damage.
